Players will once again take control of Vincent Valentine with gameplay similar to that of its console brother. While playing in the third-person view, Vincent will be controlled with the d-pad as he travels through 3D environments. For the first-person viewpoint an auto-targeting feature has been set in play, however the player is limited to only moving the camera left and right. Also, tapping the d-pad in a given direction will allow Vincent to lunge in a specific direction. Also of note: Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerebus: Lost Episode only allows the use of Vincent's guns, unlike the PS2 game which features melee attacks.

Square-Enix promises at least two to three hours of gameplay, impressive cinematic videos, and also some cameo appearances by other popular characters in the franchise. Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerebus: Lost Episode will be available through Amp'd Mobile this summer.
